Deer Hunting Partners
« on: January 02, 2010, 08:04:31 AM »
In 2005, while chasing a 4x4 muley my partners decided to try a "new call", one of them pulled from their pack a "survival" whistle and began blowing on it.  Soon a muley with a decent "ear spread" made an appearance from behind a tree.  After contemplating my dilemma...., I pulled back and let fly.  The result, a deer with a 22" ear spread tip-to-tip and two hunting partners for life.

One shot, one Deer. Two shots, maybe one Deer. Three shots, no Deer

LOL, bet that whistle is not in that pack next year!!!!!!    :chuckle:

Love the expression on the little girls face, it is priceless.

Congrats on 2 lifetime hunting partners.  They seem to be enjoying themselves. 

That doe probably ate better than that 4x4 anyway.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I remember when PathfinderJr thought that putting cammo on your face was the coolest part of hunting... :chuckle:  That is a priceless pic.  Needs to be enlarged, framed, and hung in the trophy room... :tup:

Good call!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
